Stack Racks
Definition: What are Stack Racks?
Stack racks are used to hold or buffer materials during “downtimes,” as well as during periods when they are not being transported or used. These happen for numerous reasons, such as long-term transportation or storage designed to allow the buildup of stock. Materials are stacked on pallets, shelves or racks in orderly fashion, awaiting transportation or use.
Some of the stacking equipment include:
Racks, such as pallet racks, drive-through or drive-in racks, push-back racks, and sliding racks;
Stacking frames;
Shelves, bins and drawers;
Mezzanines.
